SAINTS are set to fly out to Turkey on Thursday morning and the Daily Echo will be following the action up-close, providing coverage for our readers.
Russell Martin’s pre-season continues in Izmir, home of Sport Republic’s Goztepe SK, with a mini hot weather camp.
The St Mary’s side will spend three nights on the continent before flying back on Sunday and will take on Goztepe in their home stadium in that time.
Although Saints will take on Benfica on Wednesday evening in a behind-closed-doors friendly at St George’s Park, Goztepe on Saturday (6pm) will the first opportunity for supporters to get a glimpse.
The Daily Echo will be attending the fixture, providing live blog coverage and a match report, as well as post-match interviews from Gursel Aksel Stadium.

It is an exciting time to support the club despite relegation from the Premier League just months ago, with a new manager bringing in his ideals the club’s owners outlining their title ambitions.
This has been reflected in the fans as the club prepares to exceed their season tickets sold from the last campaign already, with around a month until the first home game of the season.
Join us for our trip to Turkey as we get our first look at what Saints could look like under new manager Martin.
